What is a flag? It’s a rectangular piece of fabric emblazoned with a specific design that represents something. The American flag is an important piece of our history, as is the confederate flag. However, historical relevance can’t always justify something’s existence in modern society. If Germany still paraded around the nazi flag, it may be historically relevant, but not such a smart idea. The point is, there is a legitimate debate to be had regarding the confederate flag on the Capitol grounds Read more […]

Everyday liberals take the time to participate on this site and leave comments critical of conservative principles and Republican’s frugal desires to reign in the national debt and entitlement spending. Plenty of blame is laid at the feet of former President Bush and now John Boehner’s Congress is being scapegoated for the gridlock in our government. Liberals are very generous with their disdain, but where are the left’s credible solutions? No one can doubt that out of control government Read more […]

I was recently on a political forum online, hoping to enjoy a fun debate with some unlucky liberal. While there, I was witness to another debate being had between a conservative and a liberal, though it cannot exactly be called a debate; is it fair to characterize a conversation as a debate when one of the participants is so ignorant, she probably is not even aware of her surroundings? So while it never quite crossed over into debate territory, the fun I sought was certainly had. It all started Read more […]

It’s been several days now since the third and final presidential debate. According to many post-debate experts, it was the closest debate of the three in terms of who won. Democrats claim an Obama victory, Republicans claims a Romney victory and few moderates are still waffling back and forth. A number of comments I read said that Obama seemed to be sharper and quicker with his response and his putdowns than in the other debates. One blogger suggests that this could be due to Obama wearing Read more […]

Everyone, even most Democrats, declared Mitt Romney the winner after the first presidential debate. Many polls started to swing Romney’s way. However, the winner of the second debate has not been as clearly established as in the first debate. Some say that Romney won the second debate and others declared Barack Obama the winner. Historically, experts say that the debates have little effect on changing voters’ minds, but this may be the year when they have a greater impact than usual. Read more […]

During last week’s vice presidential debate, the subject of Obamacare and the contraceptive mandate came up. Republican Paul Ryan took a shot at the Democrats for forcing Catholic run colleges, hospitals and social services to go against their faith by providing contraceptives and abortion services. Biden, whose performance during the debate could only be described as the loud annoying braying of jackass, reacted to Ryan’s comment and said: “With regard to the assault on the Catholic Read more […]

In the first presidential debate last week between President Barack Obama and Republican Challenger Mitt Romney, Obama invoked the support of AARP for Obamacare. When Romney attacked Obamacare for being a partisan plan that raises costs and will leave about 20 million more Americans uninsured than before, Obama mentioned that AARP supported his health plan. Twice the president invoked AARP’s support saying: “And this is not my own — only my opinion. AARP thinks that the savings that we obtained Read more […]

There is about as nearly unanimous a consensus as there ever will be over who the winner of last week’s debate was. The winner was so obvious that to try and argue he was the loser would be to make oneself look a fool. Mitt Romney was that winner, and it was a blowout. While there were certainly no liberals giving overt praise to Romney, they dared not deny his victory. This admission was accompanied by a cascade of excuses to explain away President Obama’s pathetic performance, excuses such as Read more […]
